Om
Snabba fakta: Generationer av samma familj sov under detta tak i 150 år, och den sista ägaren, Mary, flyttade ut först 1986. Nästan alla möbler och serviser som visas kommer från familjens egen vind, skafferi och lada.
Höjdpunkter: Mary höll platsen så oförändrad att besökare idag kliver in i rum som är arrangerade precis som hennes gammelfarmor lämnade dem. Guider låser upp skåp för att visa handlagda kläder, originaltapeter och de krafsigt nedskrivna inköpslistorna som fortfarande sitter i blyerts på skafferiväggen.
Insidertips
- Book the first tour of the day to get near-empty rooms and extra time for questions with the guide.
- Wear flat, close-toed shoes because the original wide-plank floors are uneven and the upstairs stairs are steep.
- Skip the noon rush and finish your visit in the heirloom garden out back, where volunteers can name every heritage plant.
- Leave the flash off; the low natural light in the old rooms gives the interiors a genuine turn-of-the-century glow.
